Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 6. To one, whom poverty was to be wished for, in so farre, as he could hardly otherwise be restrained from excessive ryot, and feasting

YOu should not be a whit the more dejected,
That (as in former times) not being sustain'd,
Your fare, and dyet daily doe decrease;
For want doing what your modestie neglected:
It is a happy thing to be constrain'd
To that, which willingly you ought t'embrace.
